       execute()
     - 09_xdm_syserrormsg.diff: Use xdm's _SysErrorMsg() function instead of
       merely printing errno
     - 10_xdm_better_logging.diff: Use _SysErrorMsg() in the log message in
       various error conditions
     - 11_xdm_strerror.diff: Use xdm's _SysErrorMsg() function instead of

   * Also add a header explaining the changes in debian.diff and
     support_logfile_rotation.diff.

   * Replace 'Suggests: sessreg | xutils' with dependency on x11-xserver-utils,
     which also brings xrdb (closes: #527619).  Thanks, Phil Endecott!  Remove
     explanation about why we need sessreg and cpp from the long description,
     since we have a Depends on them now anyway.
   * Cherry-pick one patch from upstream git to fix configure.ac for new
     libXaw.
   * Add README.source, bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1.
